Save a Tree, Save a Life - A Poem by Anjali

Save a tree, save a life!

Anjali Paruvu

Chop Chop, Bang, Bang,

Goes the woodcutter’s axe.

It is illegal though

He’ll have to pay extra tax!

Oh, dear sir,

What has the tree done to you?

What makes you murder it?

It gives oxygen and takes in Co2

The poor innocent tree,

Has only tried to help

But still he grabs his axe

And the tree silently yelps

Oh no! he’s going to do it!

Was this written in your fate?

Now we can’t do much

It’s already too late

Bang, goes the axe,

What have you done?

Now you killed one
But soon there will be none.

Anjali read out this poem that she wrote for her school assignment. It read pretty nicely so I asked her if she would like to post it on the blog. She agreed and so here it is.
